Mrs. Ulrica de-Fort Menares
Director of Product Management for Cisco Medianet
Cisco

An intelligent network must become more application-savvy. It must have the ability to determine the importance of a session based on its business value, and treat the session accordingly, end to end. One of the key medianet characteristics is its ability to become media-aware. Imagine this: The network can discover the type of endpoint and automatically configure the switch port for that type of device. This ability to plug and play any endpoint in the network is an example of tight integration between an intelligent network and an endpoint. More

Keep Your IP
www.KeepYourIP.com

Our solution compliments the growth burst of Internet base alarm systems by allowing an IP alarm panel to be programmed with an IPv4 address that is controlled and owned by the alarm dealer. Today the only way for an alarm dealer to implement an IPv4 address is by having the Central Station supply it and that gives the control to the Central Station and not the alarm dealer (good for the CS but not for the Dealer).

General Manager
Cloud Infrastructure Group
Intel

With cloud infrastructure, servers are typically virtualized and shared across multiple lines of business or even among multiple organizations rather than dedicated to specific lines of business. When IT wants to link multiple cloud data centers together to gain efficiencies—the tools to secure this far-reaching infrastructure are still evolving. This lack of visibility – even in private clouds that are behind a company’s firewall - have people concerned because they no longer have dedicated equipment for their line of business and instead are using shared, multi-tenant resources. This is why 61% of IT that were surveyed are concerned about having less control and visibility over these shared resources, even in a private cloud. Intel and McAfee are working to address these challenges and advance security solutions for cloud services. More
